    Article Summary

    Before your team can start placing international calls or sending international messages, admins will need to enable international services on their account, as well as add credits. 

    Be sure to check out our international calling rates.

    Let's take a look at how to enable international services on your Dialpad account.

    Who can use this feature
    International services are available on all Dialpad plans.

    4. Select Enable international services 

    Confirm credit card

    Some accounts may need to confirm the credit card before credits can be added. We do this as an added security step to mitigate fraudulent charges on your account.

    We'll post a small charge on your credit card and ask you to confirm the amount. 

    Once verified, you'll be able to add more credits whenever you need, or set up automatic recharges. 

    International call credits

    To place international calls, you'll need to ensure you have sufficient call credits.

    To view and make changes to your international service preferences, navigate to your Admin Settings from Dialpad.com. 

    1. Navigate to Billing
    2. Select Credits

    Here, you can see your credit usage and current balance.

    You're also able to add more credits, or even enable or disable international services completely. 

    Add credits

    To add credits to your office, head to your Admin Settings from Dialpad.com

    1. Navigate to Billing 
    2. Select Credits 
    3. Select Add Credits
    4. Choose the desired amount
      • Select an automatic refill if desired
      • Select Next
    5. Review the cost, then select Add to confirm

    Your office's credit balance will be charged anytime team members:

    • Place any outbound international calls
    • Receive any inbound calls to toll-free lines associated with your office
    Tip

    Use automatic recharge to have Dialpad automatically add credits when your account dips below $5.

    Accounts paying with a credit card will see credit balance charges immediately, while invoiced accounts will be assessed the credit amount on their next invoice date.
